Polling place supplies.

(A) The board of elections shall provide for each
polling place the necessary ballot box, official
ballots, cards of instructions, registration forms, pollbooks or poll lists,
tally sheets, forms on which to make summary statements, writing implements,
paper, and all other supplies necessary for casting and counting the ballots
and recording the results of the voting at the polling place. The pollbooks or
poll lists shall have certificates appropriately printed on them for the
signatures of all the precinct officials, by which they shall certify that, to
the best of their knowledge and belief, the pollbooks or poll lists correctly
show the names of all electors who voted in the polling place at the election
indicated in the pollbooks or poll lists.

All of the following
shall be included among the supplies provided to each polling place:

(1) A
large map of each appropriate precinct, which shall be displayed prominently to
assist persons who desire to register or vote on election day. Each map shall
show all streets within the precinct and contain identifying symbols of the
precinct in bold print.

(2) Any
materials, postings, or instructions required to comply with state or federal
laws;

(3) A flag of
the United States approximately two and one-half feet in length along the top,
which shall be displayed outside the entrance to the polling place during the
time it is open for voting;

(4) Two
or more small flags of the United States approximately fifteen inches in length
along the top, which shall be placed at a distance of one hundred feet from the
polling place on the thoroughfares or walkways leading to the polling place, to
mark the distance within which persons other than election officials,
observers, police officers, and electors waiting to mark, marking, or casting
their ballots shall not loiter, congregate, or engage in any kind of election
campaigning. Where small flags cannot reasonably be placed one hundred feet
from the polling place, the voting location manager shall
place the flags as near to one hundred feet from the entrance to the polling
place as is physically possible. Police officers and all election officials
shall see that this prohibition against loitering and congregating is enforced.

When the period of time
during which the polling place is open for voting expires, all of the flags
described in this division shall be taken into the polling place and shall be
returned to the board together with all other election supplies required to be
delivered to the board.

(B)
The board of elections shall follow the instructions and advisories of the
secretary of state in the production and use of polling place
supplies.
